How did you reveal your babies gender?

I wanted to get ideas of how some of you ladies announced the gender of your baby when you found out what you were having.

I've heard of the cake idea, which is really cute. Recently a friend of mine and her husband did a silly string party. They had their friends and family over and to find out the gender, they got in the living room and everyone was given a premade silly string bottle. The silly string was pink or blue depending on girl or boy. No one knew what it was and at once everyone squirted the couple and surprise! They're having a boy! I saw the pics, it was so neat to see!

We don't know the gender for this baby, so I don't have a story. Our next children we will find out.

We took 2 pictures before my appt. so when we found out, I could just send it to everyone while I was still there and post it to FB. We didn't have a party or anything like that, but everyone thought it was really cute and they all wondered how I got a picture so quickly. Little did they know that we were prepared for either or! We're having a girl, btw.

sent this picture of my 2.5yr old to family and friends and then later posted it on facebook.... It was kind of funny at how long it took some people to realize and what their reaction was since we didn't even announce the pregnancy until around this photo/gender/detailed US (i would have been about 18-20wks)!

We took the sealed envelope with the gender to a baby store, picked out both a boy and girl outfit- and asked if they could open the envelope, and box up whichever outfit was correct.

We then took the box on our lunch date, and DH recorded me opening the package. Our camera cut off RIGHT when I opened the box, which was really strange...so we teased our friends by posting the video on FB. Then I took a pic of the opened box and said "ready to see what was inside??" and posted that.

I made cupcakes and filled the middle of the cupcake with the color of frosting (BLUE) and then put question marks on top of the cupcakes! When people bit into their cupcake there was the BLUE frosting! Everyone loved it!

My daughters and I made signs, then after the ultrasound we went to the gift shop at the hospital and bought a balloon and pink penguin. We took this pic and texted it to our close friends and family, then posted it on FB.
